BOBBIN-HOLDER FOR CIRCULAR LOOMS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 694,128, dated February 25, 1902.

Application filed September 12, 1901. Serial No. 75,206. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES N. BROWN, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusettahave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cop or Bobbin Holders for Circular Looms, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a new and improved bobbin or cop holder for shuttles for circular looms; and it consists in the novel features of construction and relative arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this application, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, and the same reference characters designating the same parts or features wherever they occur.

Of the drawings, Figure 1, in top plan view, shows a shuttle constructed in accordance with my invention, a portion of the shuttletrack of a circular loom being shown to illustrate the general arrangement of the shuttle with respect to the shuttle-track. Fig. 2 is a vertical view of the shuttle and track on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1, showing the relative arrangement of the several parts of the shuttle.

The parts of the shuttle-track 1 2, the shuttle 3, and its rollers 4 and several adjuncts may be of any preferred construction. In the form shown these parts arethe same as those disclosed and claimed in an application filed by me and numbered 63,892, filed June 10, 1901.

10 represents a spool-shaped bobbin or cop holder comprising a hollow hub 11, a base 12,

secured thereon, and a top 13, arranged on the hub 11.

' The hub 11 is arranged on a hollow spindle 16, carried by a boss 17 of the framework 18 of the shuttle. A thumb-screw 19 engages the interior of the hollow spindle 16 and secures the holder upon the spindle and permits it to turnv thereon. As shown, the top 13 is removable from the hub 11 when the thumb-screw 19 is removed, and thus permits a cop to be placed upon the hub 11. By this construction I am enabled to use either a cop or a bobbin, preferably the former,

thereby loading the shuttle with a greater amount of thread than has been possible heretofore.

Having thus explained the nature of my invention and described a way of constructing and using the same, although without having attempted to set forth all the forms in which; it may be made or all the forms of its use, I declare that what I claim is A shuttle for a circular loom, comprising a suitable support or frame having a down wardly-projectingbos's, a spindle carried by said boss and projecting above the support, a hollow hub mounted on said spindle and having a base at its lower end, and a top removably connected to the upper end of said hollow hub.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES N. BROWN.
